So I am supposed to see the neurologist next week. Unfortunately I just got hit with shingles, so the burning and tingling on that side of my body is no fun.

I had a question, the EMG test or nerve conduction test can diagnose the neuropathy correct? So the Dr will be able to tell me if I have it, and to what extent based on these tests?

Lastly, are the test painful at all? Not a huge fan of needles......

Just trying to prepare mentally for my appointment.
